In my insane quest for perfect in-tune-ed-ness, I tune B's E's A's,D's, and F#'s straight up (except P3 F#, which is lower). I tune G#'s, C#'s, D#'s a bit low, beatless, and F's even lower, to be beatless as thirds to C#.
When I hit A or B pedal I compensate strings 7 and 1 F#'s a bit lower lower to be in tune with the C#, or as a 3rd to the 9th string D.
But then string 7 F# is out of tune to the string 5 B when I use E lever and A and/or B pedal. So now I nudge string 7 back up to 440 with my E lever. If it's not being compensated lower by A or B the E lever compensator has no effect and it stays at 440. I could compensate string 1 back up with the E lever as well but it seems less problematic there (for now).
Am I one step closer? Comments? |

I tune my 7th string F# flat, and nudge it sharp on the lever that lowers my E's. This works for me, but it's backwards from the way most people do it.
When tuning by ear, I tune the F#'s 5th fret harmonic to the D's 4th fret harmonic. Most people tune the F# to the B instead. I use D as the root a lot.
